I heard that former Ambassador Bolton spoke out to what he knows. It is not new. There are many who say the same thing. It is the reason the impeachment occurred. 

I think the Chief Justice needs to bring in witnesses that are highly regarded and make testimony. 

I also read that the Senator from Iowa, Ms. Ernst has broken her oath of impeachment in focusing on the politics and how it is going to effect the Democratic vote in Iowa. Excuse me, but, she needs to decide if she took an oath to protect the US Constitution or the RNC and Donald Trump. I think the RNC is better without Trump and his poisoned Senators, but, the Republicans need to live in the real world and not the world of make believe by Trump and realize the Former Ambassador John Bolton loves this country more than money and is highly concerned for it.

Coronavirus treatment

Sanjay Gupta (click here) we need to do better! When Americans are threatened with a nasty virus there is a oral medication or nasal spray that is used.

Antiviral agents used for treatment and prevention of swine flu are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Swine flu is resistant to amantadine (Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine).

Have they ever been tried against a highly virulent coronavirus. Is it worth a try in China?

There has to be a way to break down that bad boy. It has so many appendages, I can't help believe if some are made ineffective by an agent that attaches or coats it in some way that would stem the virulent nature of these viruses. I think we should be throwing everything we've got at it. What about the HIV drugs? That was once incurable and about as virulent as it comes.

Come on, there has to be an answer. Stop it from using a person's DNA to replicate. Something! Some kind of hostile environment within the body to defeat it.

A long while back there was a highly virulent virus carried by mice. There was a case in Newark while most were in New York City. It was a father and a daughter that was exposed to it. We got them through by placing them in ICU isolation and running plenty of fluids to support blood pressure with heart rates in the 150s per minute. The patients were basically healthy except for this exposure. By maintaining their vital signs, it took about four days, but, they made it. There hearts were a little worse for ware, but, that is a matter of post recuperation management. 

There has to be something. I just have the feeling the people of China are in for a very bad stent of this and dare I say near tragedy as the Plague. We have to do something.
